Presenting the IT History Project

My group member and I just recently presented our IT History project on the history of distance education. I really enjoyed researching this project to see how far distance education actually went back. It's crazy to think that in 1782, Caleb Phillips, "advertised teaching of a new form of short hand through lessons that were mailed weekly." When most people think of distance education, they don't think all the way back to this first account; but rather to how distance education is right now. To think that distance education started so long ago is somewhat unfathomable. This project really opened my eyes to how far we have come. Technology is becoming greater with each passing day. What is in-store for the future of technology?
